I have a word for November. When I say a word, I mean more of a theme. It’s ‘complete’. Last month was ‘Let go’. I did that. Now it is time to ‘complete’.

I have a habit of starting things, getting bored, and then moving on. If I understand correctly it is something to do with my personality type (MBTI), or my team type (Belbin), but it might also be down to a particular constellation in a particular house. Perhaps I am just lazy.

But November will be different. I have set out my intentions, began the work and am nearing completion on several projects already.

One of the big things I need to sort is my journal pile. If you’ve been following my YouTube channel you’ll know that I am getting into all sorts of tangles with it. So I have begun to sort that out. A new video will be up soon but I wanted to post here first. Like all good minimalists, who are also journaling addicts, means one of the first steps in sorting out my journals was to begin a new one. Above is my new blog plan journal, a Leuchtturm1917 ruled A5 notebook.

It’s all part of my plan to ‘complete’ this month. Now I had best get on with it.

I am in a time of uncertainty. I completed a big goal earlier this year and now I am feeling a little in limbo. So what better time to plan for the future at the time of a new moon. Oh, and by an amazing stroke of cosmic coincidence, today we have a new moon.

The new moon can mark a time of uncertainty. There is no light in the night sky. Will it light the darkness again? Will we be illuminated again? The light will grow. We can grow. I can plan and aim to fulfil my goals.

I am taking this opportunity to put my prayers, my intentions and goals out into the universe. It’s a break from the traditional weekly, or monthly calendar. It is a celestial moment for fresh plans. A time to ‘let go’ of the old and ‘embrace’ the new. It is a time of uncertainty as new ideas take shape and await fulfilment.
